David Shepherd CBE FRSA FGRA, the writer of the foreword to this title was rejected as a game warden in Kenya, Baden-Powell’s most beloved place of residence; the renowned artist and conservationist was also rejected by the Slade School of Fine Art, but like Baden-Powell, whom he admired greatly, managed to make his own indelible mark on the people and places associated with him through his fine paintings.
Baden-Powell’s Footprint Across Britain revisits such places as Baden-Powell’s honeymoon hotel in Cornwall, the modern house that bears his name in London, and Charterhouse School where, when not hiding from schoolmasters, he played in goal for the school team. Be it north, south, east or west, the person and name Baden-Powell seemed to get to many places – villages, towns and cities – across Britain, so influential was his name and impact on Britain and, indeed, most of the wider world.
